$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Feb 4 25CRITICAL LEVEL - for the 35EMA and the 30 min 200MA - It can bounce here and we remain bullish - or we bring the 35EMA under the 30min 200 and its bear time...
IWM right now is seeing a little bit of resistance around the 225 level which is so funny to me how often we see that level. We’re at the 30min 200 MA and the 35 EMA just above us and that is a critical level if we are going to stay bullish, then we will bounce here and if not, the 35 EMA will come underneath the 30min 200 MA. this is a big level here. We also have that down gap from yesterday that we are currently right at and seeing a bit of resistance.
The top of the expected move is at 228 today and that is just underneath the 50 day moving average and then tomorrow’s top of the expected move is 229 which is just above the 50DMA
To the downside, we still have a little bit of that island gap open. We closed about half of it out yesterday and the other half is down there near the bottom of the implied move at 220 and 219.
IWM trade ideas
IwmMajor ascending broadening wedge here .. this is a huge Bearish pattern that I think will take IWM back to 198 and possibly 165.
The question is , do we tag upper boundary around 250 before it happens?
Let's look closer at the last 2month price action...
Bulls will say it's a pennant that will push IWM to 250
Bears see a bear flag
What do I see ?
226.50 is tough resistance.. I think price will reverse from there and close 219.70 gap close... 226.50 is tough horizontal resistance and also weekly 20sma
Below 219.00 and we head back to 215 support.
Below 215.00 and ascending wedge is activated and we are heading to 198.00
Strong long only over 232.00
226-232. Is chop and trap area ..
Wether IWM makes a new high or not this pattern to 160-190 will play out this year
This is a zoomed out picture of the weekly.. only broke it once in the fall of 2020 crazy IPO run
$IWM Trading Range for Feb 3 2025IWM dropped right into the island gap at open, which was near 221 which is the bottom of a one standard deviation move off of last Friday’s close. So I think this is where we’re going to see bottom on the day that I’m not calling bottom for a larger downturn but for the day, yes a possible move back up to one hour to average which as you can see is still pointing down and we did drop back underneath it. So 221 is where I think we’ll see bottom of the day.

IWM: to trap the bears on Weekly, Monthly, Qtr below 230?Just above 230 (last Friday's high) seems to be a level where 50% of the weekly, monthly and quarterly bars will be retraced, after the respective bearish range expansion on each timeframe earlier. This week seems offer an opportunity to trap everyone who has been bearish on Small Caps and open the road to the all-time highs. Failure to follow through above 230 will reverse this bullish call though.
$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day TradersYesterday we closed underneath the 35 EMA right now so far where futures are at they are up .91% that would take us just underneath the 50 day moving average with the top of the implied move at 230 231 for tomorrow.
Underneath us, we have the four hour two under moving average and 225. You could see that both of those levels did catch us underneath that the 30 minute and the one hour to under moving average that is a bearish signal so even though futures are up right now, I think we’re gonna see that downward and a continuation down the downward channel.
$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Today and TomorrowSo we are just underneath 35 EMA if we manage to get above it 50 day moving average will be the target and if we get above that 230 on the day. 231 on tomorrow’s contract. Would be looking at 230 231 bear calls spreads if we do get over the 50 day.
Underneath us, we have that downward facing one hour 200 moving average we also have the four hour two under average and 225 which has held us up so far this week. 223 is the bottom of the move and for tomorrow it’s 222. Underneath that we do have an island gap which we still need to fill, but it’s not in today’s trading range and , I wouldn’t call that a target just yet

Russell 2000 $IWM Trending UP versus Nasdaq $QQQ Here is a ratio chart of the Russell 2000 Index etf called AMEX:IWM and the Nasdaq Composite Index etf called $QQQ.
The NASDAQ:QQQ returns over the past 7+ years have been extraordinary while the AMEX:IWM has been stagnant at best and hasn't beaten inflation.
That ratio of performance has just turned in a way that suggests the AMEX:IWM will outperform the NASDAQ:QQQ for the next 11 weeks to the tune of 10%.
The ratio has already moved up last week by 4% of the 10%, so there is only another 6% to go for this signal. If there are any pullbacks of 1%-2%, those would be lower risk entries as the distance to the "stop" level at 0.45 vs 0.4704 last would be less. The target is 0.51 vs 0.4704 last.
So follow this ratio for the next 10 weeks and see if even more relative outperformance happens.
Over the next few years, it is possible for AMEX:IWM to do 50% better than $QQQ.
We would need lower oil prices and lower interest rates and some rational pricing in the big tech names that are over $10 trillion dollars now for 3 companies: NASDAQ:NVDA , NASDAQ:MSFT and $AAPL.
$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day TradersIWM returned to center pretty quickly here and we are back above the 35 EMA, even though we dropped underneath it at open AND WE DO HAVE THE 50 DAY MOVING ABOVE US HOWEVER STUPID WILLIE HAS A RED SIGNAL LINE AND WE HAVE A DOWNWARD FACING 1hr 200MA underneath us with the four hour 200 removing average and the 30 minute moving average those levels could draw us in with a corrective move here. I don’t know why I had all cops up there, but I’m gonna leave it cause I’m in hurry. I will review all of these levels on tonight‘s video.
IWM is on a downtrendIWM is currently in a clear downtrend, forming lower highs and lower lows within a declining channel. A significant selloff could occur in the final week of January, potentially driving the price to establish another lower low. A solid trading strategy to capitalize on this trend would be selling call credit spreads or buying puts to align with the bearish momentum.
$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Today & MondayToday’s expected move in IW is between 227 and 232 which is a 1.19% move. We are sitting right at the 35 EMA, which has been a support level however we do have a downward facing one hour to average that we need to meet up with and turn back around, that is a really real target and that four hour moving average is there well they meet up around 225 so 225 could be a really great support level. We also have the 30 minute moving average underneath that and just the fact that it is underneath those two levels is a bar signal and above us. We do have the 50 day moving average, which we did see as resistance on Tuesday Wednesday.
$IWM Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Today & Tomorrow226-232 is the implied move for today - we got pushed away at the 50DMA toward the downward facing 1hr 200MA. Red signal line and right here we have the first oversold signal - which definitely downs mean we’re done going down since we still need to turn that 1hr 200MA
